All you need to know about BROWERs new live album, LIVE AND CONTAGIOUS, is that its the last live album ever recorded. From the last live concert ever held ever.

While were at it, note: LIVE AND CONTAGIOUS is a proper-recorded, fullband-represented, career-spanning glam-punk spree from the before times; emceed by WFMUs Todd-o-phonic Todd in front of an unsuspecting, captivated and sold-out crowd back in March of 2020.

Opening with the previously unreleased, live staple, and lead single Heart Is Real, the stage is set and souped-up for an evening of BROWER-brand revelry accompanied by Josephine (Josephine Network) on lead guitar, Hershguy (Dirty Fences) behind the kit and the Dr. Josh Hahn (Relic Room Studios) finessing the bass. Youd never know it, but BROWERs previous album, BUZZSAWS, was a solo-recorded effort with Nat Brower playing all of the instruments and engineering it by his lonesome. That material benefits here with the fleshed-out band for maximum #BROWERPOWER.

Reenergized and urgent, the set showcases a brimming range of voices and sonic melodies abuzz and anew. Hacksaw, My Fathers Name Was Cat and Real Girl were meant to be heard this way! A deeper dive culls more reflective tracks from BROWERs Little Big EP (Birth and Glad Yr Here) that sound fully realized and familiar in front of the rapt crowd. Brower, himself, gives the performance of a lifetime little did he know itd be his last

This is the sound of BROWER in the face of calamity and against the test of time; all you have to do is close your eyes and listen to return.
